CTRL + SHIFT + V in Windows pastes without formatting
Depends on the app, it’s not a “windows” thing.
If you install Power Toys, you can set a key sequence to paste in anything like this.
Power Toys FTW!
It works 50% of the time
It depends on how the app you were using was written. If it was written correctly, it'll work, if not, blame the company that made it (especially when it's Microsoft themselves!).
Power Toys has a feature that will force it to work in every app, I highly recommend it! There's all sorts of helpful features in Power Toys.
+1 for PowerToys, lots of good features
I do this all the time in Fedora.
I can believe it: Stuff like this is not very well advertised to users so tons of useful shortcuts go unused regularly.
Bonus hotkeys:
WIN + X will also bring up a more helpful menu and allow you to do things like shut down, restart, sleep the computer using only a few keystrokes instead of clicking around.
WIN + right or left arrow will snap the screen to one side or the other, WIN + up maximizes, WIN + down will minimize
my company was paying a license for a tool to let them snag areas of the screen for screenshots, with quick tools to hilight or circle or add arrows to certain areas. an expensive license. more people than I care to admit we're shocked when I showed them the windows snipping tool with win + shift + x
There's also Greenshot if people dislike the built in stuff, it's free, open source, and works pretty well.
Thanks for the rec! I'll definitely suggest that but the head of our IT dept has a particular dislike for FOSS, due to past bad experiences, but I've been slowly whittling him down.
I am the IT department, but have had mostly good experiences with FOSS stuff, although you do need to vet the licensing: Not all licenses will allow for a company or institution to use it.
Also, you need to make sure it will work reliably, doesn't pose any security risks, etc. but that should always be SOP for any software FOSS or proprietary, free or paid. If a tech department isn't vetting stuff, then they've already fucked up before deploying anything.
FOSS isn't necessarily bad in an enterprise environment though, sometimes it's even the best possible option (most web servers run some version of Linux, for example).
